January 31st - Deadline for Mailing Application

SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY'S PATHWAYS TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE (PAcE) SCHOLARSHIPS ARE FOR STUDENTS WHO WISH TO MAJOR IN SCIENCE OR MATHEMATICS, AND HAVE
ACADEMIC PROMISE AND FINANCIAL NEED.*

SCSU provides a supportive, learner-centered academic community. At Southern, you
will find yourself in a learning community of like-minded, highly-motivated students
who, like you, are aiming for the stars!

The PAcE program provides scholarships to students who major in chemistry, biology,
computer science, earth science, mathematics, or physics - including our engineering
concentration. In addition, we offer forensics and environmental science minors, with
a major in one of the disciplines listed above.

PAcE scholarships pay for any allowable educational expense up to $10,000 per year
for four years of study at Southern Connecticut State University.

PAcE scholarship recipients will become part of a carefully mentored learning community
and will be provided a computer. Research and/or internship opportunities begin in
the freshman year, as well as access to additional funds to support participation
in research conferences.

*Financial need is defined for undergraduate students by the U.S. Department of Education
as the Cost of Attendance (COA) at a particular college minus the Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
for the student, which is determined using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The PAcE
scholarship pays $10,000 per year OR the difference between SCSU's COA and the EFC,
paying whichever is the smaller of these amounts. The COA at Southern Connecticut
State University is currently approximately $18,000 for Connecticut residents.This
includes tuition, fees, on-campus room and board (or a housing and food allowance
for off-campus students), allowances for books and supplies, transportation and other
expenses.
